UPDATE: Shiretown Meats Closed its 2018. They will be missed With winter’s grasp finally releasing the Island, and the soon-to-bloom spring talk of what’s new — I decided it was time to quickly visit another iconic Island place that I have yet to try. Shiretown Meats. I drive by Shiretown Meats all the time and...

The Martha’s Vineyard Teddy Bear Suite raised almost $13,000 for the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club, our highest total to date. This week, Point B was at the Club along with our friends from the Harbor View Hotel, to take a first-hand look at how and where the fundraising money is going, as well as present a ceremonia...

Every winter, we say there’s nothing to do on Martha’s Vineyard. However, we all know that’s not true. Sometimes you have to create your own fun or now — you can head to Loft at Dreamland in Oak Bluffs. JB Blau and his team are at it again, creating a playground for adults where Dreamalnd is located (above JB’s MV Chowder Company ...

I say this time and again, but I am always amazed at what this small Island produces. There is such an array of talented, forward-thinking individuals who are not afraid to venture into something new. Have you heard of EQL? It’s a wedding magazine specializing in weddings and destinations for LGBT couples. In case you might n...

Though tired of saying this, I wish this Winter would end. It’s the longest, coldest, snowiest I can remember, and my somewhat sunny disposition has turned a little grey. When I heard that the Harbor View Hotel was hosting a comedy night last Friday, I immediately thought that perhaps laughter would indeed be the best medicine and...

Frequently I am distracted by pretty shiny things, and Star Dancer Designs, by Jeanie Hay Sternbach, has been catching my eye for quite a while. Whether it’s at Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week, Citrine or pop-art shows on the Island, her creations pique my interest. This is unexpected because many of her pieces have crystals. I...

Continuing with my Winter quest of visiting places on Martha’s Vineyard that are not part of my usual repertoire, I put on my Frugal Foodie hat and decided to stop by Dock Street Coffee Shop in Edgartown for breakfast. Dock Street has been serving up breakfast and lunch for 40 years. For years, it was the only place to get bre...

For some reason, this month seems to be the time I venture to places on Martha’s Vineyard that I have not gone to. For this week’s exploration, I went to Soigne in Edgartown. Many of my friends were shocked to hear that I had never stepped foot into this Edgartown staple, and I have no reason for not having been there before. I’ve ...

Many us gasped in horror when we opened our NSTAR bill last month (now Eversource). Everyone I know had an increase, some  greater than others. I think a lot of Islanders have now begun to wonder what they can do to address the added cost when it can be financially challenging to live on Martha’s Vineyard year-round. Well earl...

If you’re like me, you’ve driven by Tropical Restaurant in Vineyard Haven at Five Corners almost daily for years. I decided that this was the year, the season, the day to stop in. One craves a little adventure during February on Martha’s Vineyard. Friends have told me it’s really good, but I was skeptical. The windows are tinted, ...
